Was the pledge to make Accra the cleanest city a reality or a falacy?

“By the end of the four years of my term in office as President, Accra will be the cleanest city in Africa.”

For many years, the city of Accra has been infamous for its filth.

The bad sanitation in the city is a major contributor to perennial flooding that costs many their lives.

On a visit to part of Accra, Adomonline.com’s Joseph Odotei observed that, nothing has changed concerning sanitation issues under the incumbent government.

The development has left Ghanaians questioning whether President Akufo-Addo meant his pledge to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa, or if it was just mere political talk.

This further raises concerns about the launch of the Operation Clean Your Frontage and Let’s Make Accra Work initiative in 2022 which was being spearheaded by Immediate past Greater Accra-regional Minister, Henry Quartey.

This many believed would have somehow ensured the continuity of the National Sanitation Day under the previous administration, which was observed every first Saturday of the month.
